Step-by-Step Solution

To solve this problem, we need to perform vertical addition on the two numbers $15637$ and $29181$ . Follow these steps:

Step 1: Align the numbers vertically, ensuring the rightmost digits (units place) align.
Step 2: Start adding from the rightmost digits (units place):
- Add 7 (from 15637) + 1 (from 29181) = 8. Write 8 in the units place.
- Move to the next column: add 3 + 8 = 11. Write 1 in the tens place and carry over 1 to the hundreds place.
- Now add the hundreds place: 6 + 1 (carry-over) + 1 = 8. Write 8 in the hundreds place.
- Next, add the thousands place: 5 + 9 = 14. Write 4 in the thousands place and carry over 1 to the ten-thousands place.
- Finally, add the ten-thousands place: 1 + 1 (carry-over) + 2 = 4. Write 4 in the ten-thousands place.
After carrying over appropriately and adding each digit, the result is 44818.

Therefore, the sum of $15637$ and $29181$ is $44818$ .
